Review from L B (Daughter of Resident) published on 26 September 2024 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 3.0 out of 5
I have given the Overall Experience this score because we have had a few problems that took time to resolve.
Management has been very up and down in the two years Mum has been here.
Food and Drink - Sometimes the vegetables are not cooked enough and are too hard to eat.
Activities are getting better
now.
Reply from Bindu Krishnan, Home Manager at Rushden Park Nursing Home

Thank you for your feedback, which is really appreciated. I have asked our Chef to speak to Mum, to find out Mum's preference as to cooking vegetables. We are trying our best for a continuous improvement, and I know we talk about things which concerned you and sorted out straightaway.

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have found all the nursing staff always ready to help my wife, nearly always straight away. If they don't this is due to already helping another resident. All the staff from the cleaners, laundry, kitchen, nurses and office are all polite and will go out of their way to help. I can always go to the
office and talk to the manager at any time about any problems I might have. A very good nursing home. Due to my wife being bedbound and does not eat solids I cannot comment on food and activities.

I like it here, the staff are very friendly and kind. It's always nice and clean. Although the food is good it could do with being more varied. The activities are fun but as with the food, more variety would be good. I don't often get a chance to go out from the home so that would make a nice change.
Reply from Bindu Krishnan, Home Manager at Rushden Park Nursing Home

Thank you for your valuable feedback. We will discuss this with the chef to arrange a discussion with you to give you a variety of meal options. With regards to going out of the home, we will be able to arrange it with you.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
The care given to my sister is quite possibly the highest standard available. She has been made so welcome in the home, the staff have been amazing and gone far above what would be expected in their endeavours to ensure her comfort and happiness. They not only agreed to allowing her son to hold a
blessing ceremony but went ‘all out’ to ensure it went smoothly. I understand some staff even stayed behind hours after their shift had ended, which shows true dedication and love of their work. I cannot express my gratitude deeply enough to each and every member of staff. You are all true carers, and the very definition of that word, thank you all.

When my nephew said he wanted to bring forward his wedding, the staff went all out to arrange a wonderful wedding blessing in the home so his Mum could be there. Everything was done to perfection, with kindness and enthusiasm. The staff themselves were all happy to see such an event and my sister-in-law
absolutely loved the whole day. Our most grateful thanks to all for making this wish come true.
Reply from Jacqueline Jeynes, Home Manager at Rushden Park Nursing Home

It was our absolute pleasure, and the ‘wedding blessing’ was a first for us... due to its success and enjoyment by all those who attended, we can now consider putting wedding planners on our training matrix!

The atmosphere of the home was welcoming and caring. As visitors, we felt valued and as a resident our son was treated with respect, and excellent care, and he felt secure and relaxed. We cannot praise the home sufficiently it was a truly excellent place for him. We would recommend the Rushden Park
Care Home unreservedly and thank them for all they did for us all.

This was my first experience of staying in a care home and I was very impressed by the level of accommodation provided, the quality of meals provided and the attitude and attention provided by the carers and staff. However, it cannot be said that the carers/nurses of the night shift met the standards
of those on the day shifts. Overall I really enjoyed my stay and would recommend it to others.

My mum was a resident of this wonderful care home for 1-year. She was in the end stages of Motor Neurone Disease. I cannot convey enough in words the compassion and care given to my mum during the last few months of her life. Staff were always willing to listen and provide the best care possible. It
is testimony to the quality of care that she was able to smile at all until the very end. Thank you to all the wonderful staff.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My husband spent his last four months in Rushden Park where he was cared for with compassion and dignity and I can't praise them enough. They also provided great support for me for which I will be eternally grateful. Staff would always make themselves available, no matter how busy they were, to advise
and offer reassurance through the difficult times. Unfortunately, my husband was not well enough to appreciate all the amenities and facilities on offer, which are superb, but it felt like home from home – a lovely atmosphere and I knew he was in good hands. They are extremely caring and professional people and I would not hesitate to recommend Rushden Park to anyone.

My Father spent a week here, a very happy week in respite. My Mother and I found the Manager/Management very welcoming, which was the case of all the staff throughout the home.
All of our questions and concerns were answered upon arrival, putting mother and myself at ease.
The rooms are spacious,
lovely and clean, and comfortable.
All of the staff are happy, friendly and of course, happy to help you if required, alongside delivering excellent nursing care.
We would not hesitate to use this lovely, friendly home again. To the Manager /Management and your staff, thank you.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.465)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.465) out of 10 for Rushden Park Nursing Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.5 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.465 for Rushden Park Nursing Home is calculated as follows: ( (176 Excellents x 5) + (94 Goods x 4) + (31 Satisfactorys x 3) + (2 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 303 Ratings = 4.465
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Rushden Park Nursing Home is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 68 registered maximum number of service users is 13.6, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
